Product Information

The Frontier is not cheap. Some found the seat to be a bit narrow, but that hasn't been a universal complaint. Other minor complaints involved the cupholders which aren’t removable and the fixed armrests which can make it difficult to get the child in and out at times. Compilation of customer opinions Some parents thought the cup holder and drawer were too small, while some mentioned the drawer is hard to pull out while the child’s in the seat. The LATCH straps can be hard to uninstall due to the hook-style connectors. A few parents reported that the LATCH straps sometimes came loose and didn’t hold the seat in place well enough when it is unoccupied, which could be unsafe in a crash. Kids spend more time in cars than they ever have before, so it’s important to ensure they’re adequately protected at every age and stage. If you have a child who’s 7 going on 27, she may be ready to give up the “baby” seat and ride like a grown up. She might even put up a big fuss about riding in a booster seat, especially if it still looks like it’s made for a little kid. The good thing is, that many booster seats available today have a more mature, grown-up look that your kid may actually love. Parents, for the most part, have no trouble installing the seat or converting it from harness to booster mode. The harness is easy to tighten with a one-handed front tightening strap. It has performed well in real-life crash scenarios. Disadvantages cup holders + 1 “Kid Console” – a container with a flip top lid that fits into one of the cup holders

It’s never too early to start talking about safety with your child. One of the most important parts of being safe in a vehicle is using a booster seat or carrying device approved for their age and size. When do you know it’s time to switch from using just an adult belt? How do you install one correctly? What are some other types of car seats? We’ll answer all these questions and more in this blog post! In a hurry? There are a few different booster seats (also applies to any safety seat) that parents are better off avoiding.

Booster Seats to Avoid

Some people complained about the low height limit in booster mode. This means your child could outgrow the height limit and need another seat before getting much use out of booster mode. The headrest doesn’t adjust, so children sometimes felt their shoulders were cramped. Compilation of customer opinions Your child must be at least 40 pounds to use the booster seat – even if he is tall, he needs to weigh this much to hold down the seat when the car is in motion.

When your kids are old enough and big enough for the vehicle shoulder seat belt to fit them appropriately, they should always utilize lap and shoulder seat belts for optimum protection. All children younger than 13 years of age should travel in the rear seat. Weight limits: Booster seats are not recommended for children over 120 pounds; however, they can be used until your child is big enough to fit in a seat belt without one (generally around 80 pounds). If you ever come to a booster seat standoff with your child, be honest. Explain to them what the consequences are for not being properly secured in the car. Children who aren’t adequately secured are 55 percent more likely to be injured in a car accident than those who use a safety seat. Explain that a booster seat will make sure the shoulder and lap belts fit them just right to keep them safe for every trip.That depends on two things – the size limits of the booster seat and whether it’s legal in your state. In Colorado, for instance, children under age 4 or under 40 pounds MUST be in a harnessed safety seat. It is not safe for a child this small to be in anything but a harnessed car seat. Wait a minute – are booster seats still legal? This seat comes in 4 colors, has a 1-year limited manufacturer’s warranty, and a 10-year expiration from date of manufacture. Advantages Generally, a child that weighs 40 lbs can be forward-facing in any seat as long as it’s the right fit for them. Depending on the child’s height and age, a harnessed seat is probably the best option.
